Shannon was an incredible newborn care specialist for our family. From the beginning, she was caring, reliable, and thoughtful in the way she cared for our newborn. She gave us tremendous peace of mind during those exhausting early months. One of the things we appreciated most was her balanced approach to helping our baby develop healthy sleep habits. Shannon was gentle and nurturing, never relying on a “cry it out” approach, but she also helped our baby learn to settle without creating habits that would be difficult to unwind later. She struck exactly the right balance between comfort, consistency, and structure. Shannon handled all of the late-night changes, soothed our baby with care, and woke us when needed for feeds. She saved us countless hours of lost sleep, stress, and second-guessing. Thanks in large part to her help, our baby was sleeping through the night by around three months. We are so grateful for Shannon and would highly recommend her to any family looking for a kind, dependable, and experienced newborn care specialist
